Aircraft engines and turbines
Identify suitable support and attachment points, the center of gravity and any limits on orientation during handling.
Aerospace packaging
Wood crates for aerospace equipment.
Support large assemblies and protect delicate parts.
Vol Case builds ISPM-15 certified custom wood shipping crates for aircraft components, avionics and ground support equipment. We design the crate around the equipment's weight, shape and handling needs, with space for exposed parts and access for loading.
Free design & quoting. No obligation.
Support at suitable points
Plan the base and supports around the weight and the places that can carry it.
Protection for sensitive areas
Specify surfaces, electronics and protruding parts that need particular care.
Review before production
Check the proposed crate and quote before approving the build.
Support and loading
Plan the supports before enclosing the equipment.
A custom wooden crate needs to hold the equipment in place as well as enclose it. We design the base based on the equipment weight and handling requirements. Then we add supports and blocking where the equipment can safely rest or be secured.
Base and handling
We design the base for the equipment’s weight, where that weight sits and how it will be lifted. All our crate bases provide clearance underneath for forklifts and pallet jacks.
Sensitive surfaces and electronics
Identify surfaces that must remain clear of supports. For sensitive electronics, we can review anti-static foam and cushioning needs.
Your options
Choose how the crate loads, travels and opens.
We select these features for the equipment, handling method and planned use.
Common applications
Crates for aerospace assemblies and equipment.
Each equipment type raises different questions about support, access and protection.
Avionics and control systems
Plan cushioning and clearance around connectors and exposed electronics, including any static-control requirements.
Fuselage sections and wing components
Account for irregular shapes, delicate surfaces and the space needed to load and remove large structural parts.
Read large-equipment crating guidanceSatellite and ground support equipment
Allow room around dishes, solar arrays and other exposed parts while supporting the equipment at suitable points.
Our process
From equipment details to a finished crate.
Design assistance and quotes are free. We confirm the work and schedule for each project.
Review equipment and shipment details
Provide dimensions, weight, center of gravity if known, and current drawings or models. Include sensitive areas, loading equipment, destination and any packaging specifications.
Review the design and quote
We prepare the crate design and review its supports, openings and loading access with you. Include any outside size or packed-weight limits.
Approve before production
All openings, supports and lifting access are designed and approved by you before production begins. A physical prototype is optional and quoted separately if a hands-on check is needed.
Build and arrange delivery
We build the approved crate or carry out the agreed crating work at your facility. We retain the design for repeat orders and equipment revisions.
Frequently asked questions
Aerospace wood-crating questions.
Contact us to discuss product selection, design requirements or an order.
Yes, for suitable projects. We have experience crating equipment weighing over 70,000 lbs. We review your equipment, location, access and available handling equipment to determine the work we can provide.
